Working 8th Grade CYO championship yesterday. Coach for the favored team is on us from the tip. He gets stop signed in the 1st, whacked in the 2nd, tossed in the 3rd. His parents give him a standing ovation on the way out of the gym....apparently it is not only OK, but worthy of applause to get thrown out of a game these days.

Great comment by him during the opening moments of the game. Because it was a championship game, the director of the league wanted a 3-man crew. He goes to me about 2 minutes in -- "We've never had 3 officials before -- how am I supposed to coach my kids when I don't know what you're going to call since there are 3 officials??"

Oh, and his team lost by 20.

Thankfully there are more of the prior examples out there than there are of these idiots...a question - were they clapping for the coach, or for you because you tossed him? I've had parents clap for us and thank us after tossing youth coaches before, so I'm just wondering...

No it was definitely for the coach. The other team's parents, however, also gave a standing ovation, definitely in support of the ejection.....great sportsmanship there as well, IMO
